The Parable of the Ten Virgins is a well-known story found in the New Testament of the Bible, specifically in the book of Matthew, in chapter 25, verses 1-13. This parable is attributed to Jesus and is part of a series of teachings meant to convey spiritual lessons and insights about the Kingdom of Heaven.

In this parable, Jesus tells the story of ten virgins who were awaiting the arrival of a bridegroom. These virgins were tasked with the responsibility of being ready to accompany the bridegroom and participate in the wedding festivities when he arrived. They all had lamps, but five of them were wise, while the other five were foolish.

The wise virgins brought extra oil for their lamps, while the foolish ones did not. As they waited for the bridegroom, the night grew long, and all ten virgins became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight, a cry went out that the bridegroom was coming, and the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps. However, the foolish virgins realized that their lamps were running out of oil and asked the wise virgins for some of their oil. The wise virgins refused, fearing that they wouldn't have enough for themselves and advised the foolish virgins to go and buy oil for themselves.

While the foolish virgins went to buy oil, the bridegroom arrived, and the wise virgins accompanied him into the wedding feast, and the door was shut. Later, the foolish virgins returned with oil but found themselves locked out of the feast. They cried out to the bridegroom, but he replied that he didn't know them.

The central lesson of the Parable of the Ten Virgins is the importance of being spiritually prepared and vigilant for the coming of the Kingdom of Heaven. The oil in the lamps represents having the Spirit if God in our souls. The wise virgins symbolize those who are spiritually watchful and prepared for the return of Christ or the final judgment, while the foolish virgins represent those who are unprepared and lack the necessary faith and readiness.

This parable emphasizes the need for believers to be spiritually diligent and to stay ready for the unknown time when the bridegroom (representing Christ) will return. It serves as a reminder of the unpredictability of the future and the importance of living in a state of readiness and faithfulness to one's spiritual calling. Ultimately, the parable teaches that one's spiritual preparedness and faith cannot be borrowed or transferred; each person is responsible for their own readiness for the divine encounter.
